Really like the subject, and it is very well molded, but lacks any interior detail in the gun positions and wheelhouse. Not all the portholes are molded in clear either, so will take a bit of work to bring those areas up to the standard of the rest of the kit. Rather disappointing considering the price of the kit.

:tongue-out3:Ernie, were those T-boats produced by the renowned ACME Corp., the Wile E. Coyote favourite mail shop? The question comes from the peculiar torpedo releasing system, which seems designed to have the torpedo to follow the T-boat wake... :nerd:

Getting my coat...:smiling4: Leaving business card...:upside:

I don't buy much but if I do it's a necessity like these two bottles of sponge loose foam that I intend for moss or tree flower buds. The white ine looks good to sprinkle as rough snow or grass flowers.


Cheers,

Yes, I believe they were! :smiling3: A gas powered ram expelled the torpedoes, and the boat then had to quickly turn out of their path. Unsurprisingly, many of these boats were used for laying mines and carrying commandos in the torpedo well and dropping them off shore of areas where they were going to operate.

[Mark1]

This is the last thing for the model room,spent a small fortune getting it sorted but i haven't spent much on kits lately! It was about time i replaced that little brown box although it has served me well.

I already have one(dont know how i used to manage without it) but what with moving into the modelling room and getting a much bigger bench i felt i would benefit from having two,the living room had better ceiling lighting than the new room,bloody crap energy saving lightbulbs! I remember the good old days when you had a 100w osram burning your retinas.

Good to hear Jim, its got chrome on it! Thats enough for me to part with my cash :tears-of-joy:

Splashed out on a set of Quinta 3D decals for the Rally truck.

They were not cheap and probably not worth it for the truck as you will hardly see them when all built up but I thought I would give them a go as I am trying a few things new to me with this model.


Andy.

 

[AlanG]

I do like the idea of these 3d printed decals. They have something over the Eduard PE ones. Personally I'll look at other companies other than Quinta though for obvious reasons.

 

[Allen Dewire]

That looks to be a pretty comprehensive set there Andy!!! I'm sure you would be able to see quite a few of them in the cab when it's done!!!.......Bring them on

Prost

Just arrived on a slow boat from China. Seem modern tanks are luring me away from the WWII stuff lately :surprised:

 

[Guest]

Is that one of the kits with a full interior?

 

[Valeron]

A parcel arrived from John today. A few paints for my X-Wing in film and TV GB plus a few extras including somewhere to keep my ever growing set of Vallejo paints.
